Can enema clear away stool?

People have heard the term "stool retention" more frequently in recent years. Especially obese people suspect that they have stool retention in their bodies when they are losing weight, so they would like to use some methods to expel the stool retention and clean up the garbage in the body. Can enema remove stool retention? Enema is a treatment method. Chinese medicine is injected into the body through the anus, and then the medicine is absorbed by the intestines to treat the disease. Let's learn more about it in detail.

1. The advantages and disadvantages of enema

Enema is a method used to treat constipation. Many patients with severe constipation will see improvement in their condition after enema. Enema has some benefits to the human body, but it also has many disadvantages. Especially in recent years, many women have used enema to lose weight, and some adverse effects are not uncommon. In order to give everyone a better understanding of enema, the editor will share with you what enema is and its harm to us.

2. Benefits of enema

1. Enema is beneficial to the excretion of stool. Its purpose is to clear out the old stool in the body and eliminate the toxins accumulated in the body.

2. Stimulate intestinal peristalsis and eliminate intestinal flatulence.

3. Use hypothermic solutions to cool down patients with high fever.

4. Clean the intestines, which is often used in certain surgeries, examinations or childbirth.

5. Dilute and remove harmful substances in the intestines and reduce poisoning.

Disadvantages of enema

Enema is a short-term measure and has no therapeutic effect. It is usually done by people with severe constipation, and it is only a temporary solution and not a permanent cure. Frequent enema can damage the already fragile normal intestinal flora, and irregular enema can also cause mechanical damage to the intestines, or even intestinal perforation. And the stool in the lavage fluid can easily contaminate the urethra and vagina when it flows out.

If we do colon cleansing frequently, it will also make our anal sphincter more relaxed, making us less sensitive to the urge to defecate. Frequent bowel cleansing can easily cause disorder in intestinal flora, leading to intestinal dysfunction, and causing symptoms such as abdominal bloating and diarrhea.

If constipation is particularly severe, enema can indeed wash away stool and toxins, and it is effective if done occasionally. However, it is impossible for us to do colon cleansing frequently. Once every two weeks is already very frequent. Moreover, toxins are produced every moment, so colon cleansing and detoxification are simply unreliable.
